The Setting

The front door faces due north.

Stand on the deck and the land falls away in front of you — down across the Mohawk Valley, out past the farms and river flats, and up again into the blue line of the Adirondacks on the far horizon.

The house sits at twelve hundred feet on twenty-six and a half acres. Open field in front, roughly seven acres of woods behind it with trails cut through. One neighbour shares the drive and you will not see their house from here.

It is quiet in a way that takes most people a day to get used to.

View north from the property across green fields to the hazy valley and distant ridges

Looking north from the hill

Some views you drive to. This one you wake up in.

Twelve hundred feet up, one hundred and eighty degrees of valley, and nothing in the way.

Outside

Most of the house is the part with no roof.

A long deck with string lights and a table that catches the whole valley. A fire ring below it with the wood already stacked. Trails through the woods, a stone wall older than anyone remembers, and dark enough at night to see what is actually up there.

String lights strung across the deck above the valley at dusk

The Deck

Morning coffee, evening drinks, and the string lights on until you go in.

Fire ring with chairs and a hammock, valley beyond

Fire Ring

Chairs, a hammock, and firewood provided. It gets used every single night.

Outdoor cold plunge tub on the deck

Cold Plunge

On the deck, facing the valley. Nobody waiting, nobody watching.

Hanging hammock chair on the deck

Hammock Chair

The most contested seat on the property. Take turns.

Old stone wall with ferns in the woods

The Woods

Seven acres, trails cut through, and stone walls from whoever farmed it first.

Open meadow and a single tree on the property

The Field

Twenty-six acres to walk, and nobody on any of it but you.

Sauna & Cold Plunge

Heat downstairs. Cold on the deck. The valley either way.

A private sauna off the rec room downstairs, and an outdoor cold plunge up on the deck. Both yours alone for the length of your stay — no booking a slot, no sharing with the house next door, because there is no house next door.

Sit in the sauna until you have had enough of it. Walk up, step outside, get into the cold water. Then stay out there and look north for as long as you like. Later the string lights come on, somebody gets the fire going, and it gets properly dark — the kind of dark where you can actually see something.

Use the sauna and cold plunge at your own discretion. If you have a health condition, speak to your doctor first.

The House

Room for eight, without anyone sleeping in a hallway.

Sixteen hundred square feet over three levels. Kitchen, dining and living on the main floor, bedrooms and both bathrooms up, and a finished basement below with the air hockey table and the big television.

The Basement

Air hockey, games, a wall-mounted television, and the sauna just off it.

Dining

A table that seats the whole group at once, which is rather the point.

Sharon Springs village is six minutes down the hill. Everything else worth seeing is a comfortable drive, and you come back to quiet at the end of it.
